I’ve been coming around on it lately. Had one as a kid and didn’t really like it. Only had Alex Kidd and Wonder Boy.
Played Fantasy Zone and Phantasy Star recently. Very cool games, but it feels like I may have seen the best already.

>>10942670
There are some other good one:

Castle of Illusion
Land of Illusion
Ninja Gaiden (though a bit easy)
Golden Axe Warrior (good Zelda clone)
Lucky Dime Caper
Wonder Boy III
Alex Kidd in Shinobi World

Some of the arcade ports are alright, like >>10942405 , Shinobi and Wonder Boy in Monster Land

It's by far one of my favorite consoles of all time, such good hardware for its time, and with a nice library to match. I'm aware most of the library it has also came out on Game Gear, but I disagree it takes away from the quality, looking at the titles it has by themselves it's solid, that's all that really matters, especially looking back since they had a different role, one at home, the other portable.

Also, usually Master System has a resolution that allows me to see more, so I usually prefer it. Sure a lot of the library are inferior ports too, but that simplicity has it's charm to me, a stellar console.

I've grown to really like it, even played some of the ports out of curiosity, overall Genesis is just better than the others, alongside the DOS one, for it's wider resolution and being able to skip a part in the 2nd level where the collision isn't all that good, where you're forced to swing across on SNES, which is still a good version though. It's surprising how good the Master System and the Game Gear ports were though, levels aren't just copies, they have their own layouts and, in a few ways, it's better, like the collision detection, it's quite good and I recommend them to anyone.

I think the worst versions are the NES and Game Boy ones, the Game Boy Color title that came a few years later is fine, but the OG ones? I'm not sure if I prefer the NES or Game Boy one, since the NES one cuts off just before Simba becomes and adult, in a way ending it sooner is merciful.

I simply do not understand what people see in the classic 2D Sonic games. I've tried playing Sonic, Sonic 2, and Sonic Mania on many seperate occasions and find myself dropping each by the Second Stage.

It's not like I dislike platformers, far from it, I love sidescrolling Platformers new and old. Mario, DKC, Rayman Origins, etc. But Sonic just doesn't do it for me.

For a game touted as being "fast" all 2D Sonic games feel slow and methodical. Getting to top speed is a chore with Sonic requiring significant time and space to reach full speed. What's worse is losing that momentum is so immediate that it dampens any desire to try and gain it back.

Doesn't help that the level design isn't conducive to this gameplay as a numerous amount of assets require speed to traverse or lack any areas to give yourself room to speed up without having to invest time in spin dashing.

Mario and Rayman can reach full speed almost instantaneously and still maintain this sense of momentum while Sonic just feels like an awful slog.

>Truth is there are many different kinds of Sonic games, sometimes you just have to find the one for you
This.

It's a simple solution, but also a pointless one since 90% of the time someone posts this sort of thread, and we see it every week at this point, it's not someone who wants to enjoy Sonic, but can't, it's really someone's who's made up their mind and wants to piss people off, that's all to it.

Sonic 1 being the purest one is the reason why most people don't get Sonic.
Sonic 1 used to be popular but overtime was overshadowed by Sonic Complete 3 AIR or whatever.
Real Sonic fans know that 1 is the best closely followed by 2, when it comes to sonic

This.

It's the reason we have this thread every other week, it's always huge, it gets people talking in the way it intended, so it keeps happening, it's the same for Sonic Adventure, every single time.

Not them and I haven't played much Langrisser in general but I have messed around with some for a bit including III. It's weird because you and the enemy decide what you're going to do at the start of the phase then after everyone moves you fight with whoever is next to you. Also the battle animations are everyone shooting lasers for some reason (at least on PS2) which just makes it more confusing than just seeing two big armies clash into each other. II was a lot easier to grasp in comparison.

You can only move your commanders and the units follow by themselves, both your and enemy moves are done at the same time and if opposing units touch each other, they all start fighting, the battle can look very chaotic as multiple squads just fight in real-time on a big-ish field.

After beating the first game and seeing how heavy it leans into micromanaging hordes of units in the latter part of the game and how it devolves into the usual TBS trap of having to tiptoe outside the opponent's attack radius all the time, III makes a lot of sense and I'm looking forward to playing it eventually. I think it has a reasonably good reputation in Japan; the series didn't really start falling apart until IV and V, which were rush jobs.

havent played in years but just started a self found d2 grail hunt last month. I play for a few hours every couple days with my shitty blizz sorc who is too weak and undergeared to farm Lvl 85 areas (stuck on hell meph trying to get gear). Luckily i have an ali baba on switch for when i cast my last blizz to kill him
how long does it take on average to complete everything 100%?

current gear - lvl 78 sorc
lore helm
+3 cold skill ammy
spirit sword
lidless wall shield (only using to get to fcr breakpoint)
chance guard gloves (25 mf)
gold wrap belt
generic +35 magic boots

Have made 4 different Paladin Hardcore runs in the past week. I’ve died twice in NM Chaos Sanctuary, once in Hell against Duriel, and lastly all the fucking way in Hell Throne Room. Feels fucking bad, man
>>
>>10939112

When I do a solo run, I usually do a melee build, like zeal or frenzy. I'll usually beat nightmare but around act 2 hell it gets a bit much and I'll be too lazy to put in the time for grinding better gear.

These days, when I do play, it's mostly tweaking or improving my 2 accounts of botted lvl 99 pvpers on B.Net. I'll sometimes duel in pubs when drunk. I've really just played D2 to death. I played it off and on for like 20+ years.

Fist Of The Heavens lol. Charge around, get in range for conviction aura to apply to them, click somewhere in their general vicinity with foh, repeat. 1-2 shots anyone who doesn't have a respectable amount of light resistance. 1 shots noobs

A 2 handed charger is not quite as braindead but it can be fun 1 shotting people

Blizz sorc is kind of like foh, just spam blizz from range and you should 1-2 shot many different enemy builds. Requires a bit more click agility, though, since you're teleporting around n shit

I'm not a huge fan of Touhou, but Zun's output is leaps and bounds more popular than CAVE's. While I'd never say that Zun makes better games than CAVE did, Touhou is evidentially much better at attracting and keeping new players than any of the commercial studios who worked in the genre could have ever dreamed of being. I don't understand it, but to deny it is kind of silly.
>>
>>10942034
Quite the opposite actually, brainlets LOVE memorizing because they lack higher order brain functions. Think of it like this: You could brute yourself into learning a new language by doing spaced-out repetitive memorization, such as with flash cards. But there's nothing impressive about doing this, anyone can do it given sufficient time. The actual skillful part about learning a new language is being able to navigate entirely new social dynamics through talking with native speakers. This is why people who are dropped cold-turkey into a foreign country learn the language faster and much better, because they're not doing gay flashcard memorization and are instead applying their social skills by talking to locals, neighbors etc.

Any game that requires memorization is not demanding any skill, it's demanding your time.

What game is your holy grail -- the one you want more than any other game? Perhaps it eludes you because of price or scarcity.

Mine is probably picrel w/ manual (don't care about the box). It's the main thing stopping me from having a complete Virtual Boy collection. Another one is Panzer Dragoon Saga, but I'll probably pic that up before the end of the year.
